Some people in here should really think about why they play EVE:
 Originally by: Auen LaRoe
It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
DARING GREATLY
so that his place shall never be
with those timid souls
who know neither victory or defeat.
--Theodore Roosevelt
26th President Of The United States
Will history remember E-R at all? What exactly have they done since XETIC?
"...probably not"
We've had fun playing the game the way we want to. We like combat so we look for fights. Wether we win or lose, we don't care that much (ofc we'd rather win, who wouldn't).
And what have ASCN done? I'm sure you've all been doing the exact same thing: playing the game the way you want to, doing what is funnest for you. If you haven't, then you've been doing something wrong.
As for if "history will remember E-R at all"? Are you kidding me? This is a GAME remember? Who gives a rats arse? Are you even having fun in the game?
Remember, all you who like trying to moe down E-R on the forums: we are merely ONE corp having fun. Yet we bring fights to you, don't we? Even when we are vastly outnumbered and know we are gonna lose, we fight you dont we? Maybe not all the times, but many times we do. When was the last time your alliance/corp fleet attacked another force/fleet with 3-4 times your numbers? I know few forces in the EVE universe who have done it.
Its funny to see some members of an alliance blabbing on the forums (not referring to any in particular) when they win us or lose against us, about how "good" they are and how E-R have been owned, bla bla bla bla. If an alliance with thousands of players in it were to actually "lose" against us, then we'd really be accomplishing a feat indeed, now wouldn't we?
Yesterday we attacked 5 in H-P and lost. We were outnumbered and outgunned, that didnt stop us from going in and having a good time with the 5 fleet there. We lost, of course, but who cares? In the end we all won with some good fun. And THAT is the ONLY thing that matters in EVE.
